Follow<br />
Food Safety<br />
Guidelines<br />
The Centers for Disease<br />
Control and Prevention<br />
estimates that roughly<br />
one in six Americans<br />
gets sick from foodborne<br />
disease each year. Reduce<br />
your chances of getting<br />
sick by practicing proper<br />
hand washing. Separate<br />
raw meat, poultry and<br />
seafood from ready-toeat<br />
foods like bread and<br />
vegetables. Use a food<br />
thermometer to make sure<br />
food is properly cooked.<br />
Refrigerate food quickly<br />
at a proper temperature<br />
to slow bacteria growth.<br />
